thington 4 Sioux Falls will be pushed
to Mitchell and tho branch road will
then become virtually trunk line and
rumor says that two passenger trains
day will be put on.
WorthinRton will be tho eastern ter.
minus OF this road, = division at this
point becomes almost . necessity. that
is, the main line already needs divis.
ion at this point and with . long line
of road reaching westward from here,
ultimately to the Missouri, Worthing-
ton necessarily becomes one Of the
nerve-centres or sub b-headquarters of
the Chicago. st. Paul, Minneapolis &
Omaha system.
FLOWING WILLS
The ADVANCE last fall made men,
tion Of the flowing well struck on the
farm of Mitchell Bros. in the suburbs
Of town. This vel! has been flowing
steadily ever since and is still flowing
and, If properly piped, would doubtless
spout water 20 to 30 feet high. North
of this about on tho west line of the
Thurber place, We learn, there are in.
dications of another such we'll, a spot
where the ground is always moist and
where slight excavation watered a
number of head of stock over winter.
We learn also that Mr.. Pease, whose
fine place is on the south slope Of the
Summit, while digging in a sag last
fall, struck a fine flowing we'll and has
had abundance of water since. We
noted also last fall that 4 farmer in
Hersey had struck one of these wells.
These were all found in the dryest of
dry seasons, and they have had steady
flow ever since discovered, show
ing that there must be an inexhausti-
bio supply of water in this section of
country.
The object of this article is to su9-
gest that the search for flowing wells
be pushed this season. This is des
tined to be stock county, and a flow
ing well on every farm is needed and
ought TO be considered worth a thous-
and dollars to any place. The grass
and other questions are settled. let us

50 far these wells have all been
found near the surface. let the searcl,
90 deeper and see whether the regular
Artesian well cannot be found here
Perhaps, too. while searching for wat
er. \ reservoir Of natural gas may b.
found. and then your fortunes are all
made beyond question.
IDEAL SITE FOR A MERCHANT
The ADVANCE has noted the i'm
provements recently added to the AID.
VANCE corner and the Pettinger prop
erty adjoining. These are now about
completed. Mr.. Pettinger has raised
and enlarged bis dwelling until it is
now one of the amplest in the village
and lie has also surrounded his lots
with q close fence in the rear and u
neat wire picket fence in front. This
gives him a fine front yard or lawn and
ample grounds in the rear for all do
mestic purposes and garden also, If he
wishes garden.
The ADVANCE property has been
improved by building a warehouse ad-
diti0n to the brick corner and putting
the finest butter vault in the county
in the cellar, besides building new
fence and reconstructing the old.
When the painting is completed we
think tho ADVANCE corner, with the
adjoining Pettinger property, will pre-
sent altogether the handsomest lay out
in Worthington, and for merchant,
in the county.
Suppose (for the sake of argument')
that the ADVANCE were q mercantile
instead of a newspaper establishment.
Then it would simply purchase the ad-
joining Pettinger property, 4Sxl6O feet,
for q residence, This is within a square
of the postoftice and three squares of
the depot, within a few blocks of
church and school, and always on the
sidewalk within = step of every con-
venience. Then move to have the alley
between the residence and the business
property vacated. This would give a
front of Ill feet on Tenth or Main st.
and l6O feet on Fourth. .av., and all on
the coming Retail Corner of Worth
ingtOn.
The brick store is one Of the best in
the town and with recent additions is
now ample for twice the stock carried
by any worthington merchant. The
Swedish Mercantile Co., which has o.
cupied the store during the past year,
and leased for another year. has found
this one Of the best locations in town
for business. That it will be the best
retail corner within one year, there
can be no doubt. rs three. .fOurths of
the town must pass it to get to the
pOsto office and depot.
This notice may look like an adver.
tisement designed to sell the property,
but you need not call at present. The
W"rthington hoom is just about to
begin.
The ADVANCE is pleased to sec so
many papers taking the same view Of
the game law which the ADVANCE
expressed at the time the law was is
sued. The Fulda Republican says:
The game laws passed by our last
legislature seem to be only in the in.
terest of city sporting clubs. who
spend y month or two each fall slaugh-
tering birds that are fed blythe farmers.
Every farmer has a right to forbid
hunters from tresspassin9 on his prem.
ises. and we will print 1000 notices for
nothing il farmers. will post them and
thus prevent these city chaps from
their cnnningly concoctrd schemes. Ii
the farmers will act in unison they can
bring these sports to time in short
order.
